Conversion of forewings into hardened covers, elytra, was a ground-breaking morphological
adaptation that has contributed to the extraordinary evolutionary success of beetles …

Recent calls for a revision of standard evolutionary theory (SET) are based partly on
arguments about the reciprocal causation. Reciprocal causation means that cause–effect …

The first comprehensive book in more than a century to reveal the diversity and natural
history of diving beetles. Among the hundreds of thousands of species of beetles, there is …

Here, I suggest that colour polymorphic study systems have been underutilized to answer
general questions about evolutionary processes, such as morph frequency dynamics …

The epidermal adhesive structure of many animals generates reliable adhesion on their
engaged surfaces. However, current bio-inspired adhesion structures are difficult to function …

Some organisms often use adhesive setae to manipulate objects or communicate critical
signals for survival through subtle surface‐transmitted vibrations, along with locomotion and …

In nature, aquatic organisms have evolved various attachment systems, and their attachment
ability has become a specific and mysterious survival skill for them. Therefore, it is significant …

We have developed a theory of air leakage at interfaces between two elastic solids with
application to suction cups in contact with randomly rough surfaces. We present an equation …

Beetles have colonized water many times during their history, with some of these events
involving extensive evolutionary radiations and multiple transitions between land and water …

Intelligent bioinspired adhesive devices are attracting attention as a tool for the treatment of
various skin diseases. Fully compliant skin contact is crucial for consistent effective therapy …
